إِذْ When جَآءَتْهُمُ came to them ٱلرُّسُلُ the Messengers مِنۢ from before them بَيْنِ from before them أَيْدِيهِمْ from before them وَمِنْ and from خَلْفِهِمْ behind them أَلَّا (saying) "Do not تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ worship إِلَّا except ٱللَّهَ ۖ Allah قَالُوا۟ They said لَوْ If شَآءَ (had) willed رَبُّنَا our Lord لَأَنزَلَ surely, He (would have) sent down مَلَـٰٓئِكَةًۭ Angels فَإِنَّا So indeed, we بِمَآ in what أُرْسِلْتُم you have been sent بِهِۦ with كَـٰفِرُونَ (are) disbelievers ١٤
[That occurred] when the messengers had come to them before them and after them, [saying], "Worship not except Allāh." They said, "If our Lord had willed, He would have sent down the angels, so indeed we, in that with which you have been sent, are disbelievers."
